Renault Grand Kangoo Couleur: seven-seat layout, 500-litre boot and 4.82 million yen price
© Renault Japan
The new Japanese Renault Grand Kangoo Couleur is priced at 4.82 million yen. The run is limited to 50 cars, but the layout is more interesting than the colour itself: even with all seven seats occupied, 500 litres of luggage space remain, while removing the two rear rows increases capacity to 3050 litres.
The Orange Collonges version went on sale in Japan on September 10. The orange paint refers to the historic architecture of the French village of Collonges-la-Rouge. Applications are accepted through September 27, and if demand exceeds 50 cars, the vehicles will be allocated by lottery.
The practical side of the Grand Kangoo is unchanged. All seven seats are individual, while the second- and third-row seats slide longitudinally by 130 mm, fold and can be removed. Renault quotes 1024 seating configurations. With the third row removed, luggage capacity is 1340 litres, and ISOFIX is provided for five seating positions.
The vehicle is 4910 mm long with a 3100 mm wheelbase. The sliding-door opening is up to 830 mm wide, while the luggage-floor height above the ground is 594 mm. These figures matter more than the decorative trim: the wide side opening makes access to the rear rows easier, and the low floor simplifies loading heavy items.
Under the bonnet remains a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a seven-speed EDC dual-clutch transmission. Equipment includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, parking assistance and 16-inch all-season tyres.
There is also a pricing detail. The June Grand Kangoo Couleur in Gris Urbain, with the same 1.3-litre engine and 7EDC transmission, cost 4.72 million yen. The new batch is 100,000 yen, or about 2.1%, more expensive.
Orange Collonges is therefore primarily another collectible colour edition rather than a technical update for the Grand Kangoo. For buyers focused on practicality, the decisive features remain seven separate seats, the wide sliding-door opening and the ability to turn the passenger vehicle into a car with more than 3 cubic metres of cargo space.
